Women make up over half of the workforce and control 85 percent of consumer decisions. Global studies conducted by the likes of Goldman Sachs and Columbia University have found that companies employing women in senior positions or in large numbers outperform their competitors on every measure of profitability. Never before have women been so represented as decision makers in all areas of influence, so why do we not see more women leading in corporate America?

Wendy Wallbridge, strategic advisor and founder of On Your Mark Corporate Coaching, has observed over her more than twenty years of coaching that the traditional linear path to success, forged by men, ignores the essential components that are important to women, which are a sense of meaning and fulfillment. She’s on a mission to repave this road to success.

Wallbridge’s new book SPIRALING UPWARD: The 5 Co-Creative Powers for Women on the Rise (Bibliomotion, March, 31, 2015), provides an alternative to the officially sanctioned linear path that sometimes results in women becoming second-rate versions of men.

“Our culture prizes masculine strengths,” Wallbridge says. “Neither masculine or feminine strengths are good on their own. But when the two opposing forces meet, an upward spiral ensues. It’s only when women pair masculine strengths in service to their feminine values that unstoppable, authentic power is unleashed.”

SPIRALING UPWARD outlines a step-by-step roadmap for professional women to engage life’s vicissitudes as doorways to a greater version of themselves. Wallbridge offers the solution for women to achieve success on their own terms by becoming skillful with what she calls the co-creative powers of energy, thoughts, feelings, speech and action.

Recognized for her groundbreaking coaching techniques, Wallbridge has effectively taught her Spiral Up! method to groups of women entrepreneurs, middle managers and executives for over a decade.

Wallbridge notes that when women step onto the spiral path, effort is replaced with flow and they attract the circumstances and experiences needed that align with her values. From there, the next right thing becomes obvious.

Wendy Wallbridge is a strategic advisor and pioneer in the coaching field. As the founder and principal of On Your Mark Corporate Coaching, Wallbridge works with Fortune 100 leaders and teams at organizations such as Intel, Apple, Wells-Fargo and Hewlett-Packard, among others.
